world AIDS day, campaign, 2009
Someone has said it right that “truth is stranger than fiction”. The truth behind our HIV- AIDS awareness campaign on day before was, we just want to promote our blog by showing that we are also involve in some social works. We arranged for some posters, red ribbons and put them at our college notice board along with our blog’s advertisement. We also posted a report on AIDS and HIV by just making a copy paste editing from Wikipedia and other sites. At the time of all this work we were not seriously concerned about HIV or AIDS. But the stranger part behind this simple truth is, we have started this campaign without any expectation, but this campaign became a big hit. The box containing the red ribbons which we had put along with awareness posters was empty just within half an hour from opening of college gate. We saw students wearing the red ribbon with proud and with a commitment that they will acquire the knowledge about this epidemic disease before removing that red ribbon. This whole thing forced us to rethink about our strategies. After this all we were eagerly searching for more information about AIDS, its awareness, government initiative and campaigns etc. we want to motivate others to participate in some social works, on the contrary our own event realized us that we should handle social issues very seriously.
